National PE Institute and NC Health & Wellness Fellows

The primary purpose of the National Physical Education Institute (July 28-30, 2014 in Asheville, NC) is to provide participants with tools, strategies, and information on how to develop a K-12 curriculum aligned with student assessment. By attending this conference you will:

Gain valuable insight as to how to align the written, taught, and tested curriculum;

Learn from others who have implemented data-driven assessment practices; and

See how others have been linking curriculum with sound K-12 assessment practices!

For the past two years, hundreds of K-12 Physical Education teachers from over 40 states
and 6 countries have gathered to make the National PE Institute a resounding success. See the National PE Institute website for more information about keynote speakers and to register. All of the National PE Institute Keynotes will be live-streamed as a free professional outreach activity for K-12 physical education teachers.

This year, the North Carolina Center for Health and Wellness will be offering 15 Fellowships to K-12 North Carolina physical education teachers worth up to $750 to cover the expenses associated with registration ($250), travel and lodging.

Individuals selected as Fellows will be expected to:

Learn Twitter and Social Media Basics and assist PE Institute participants at the “Twitter & Social Media Help Desk,”

Provide on-going mentoring assistance throughout the school year with follow-up PE Institute Twitter Chats, webinars, and other social media events;

Respond to designated NCCHW surveys to measure the impact of the PE Institute on teaching/students;

Write personal “True PE Stories” to chronicle the impact of social media and lessons learned at the National PE Institute on a periodic basis (ex: several times a year); and
